He reluctantly gave in. As he followed her through the sunlit wood, the dappled light dancing on her hair and the sound of her unaffected laughter, took him back to those early days of their first meeting. Before they had sworn their vows to their devices who now cruelly monopolized them, they had been happy.
As they walked hand in hand through the green wood, they heard the sound of falling water. With quickening footsteps, they walked towards the sound of Nature’s music. All at once the path widened and looking down they saw a sparkling brook, fresh, cool, and inviting.
They stooped down at it its edge to drink from it. As they sipped the sweet water, something wonderful happened. The spell their devices had held them in so long, was broken. Looking up, they gazed into each others self and connected kinetically.
After many hours in the embrace of Nature, refreshed and renewed, they headed back to the busyness of life. But before they left, they promised to return at the start of each season of the year as the earth moved around the sun, to keep their connection dynamic, ever strengthening, and the one constant that informs all life's choices.
